SUTHEP BAND is an independent band from Chiang Mai that has self-produced more than 30 songs, 1 CD, 1 streaming album and numerous singles over the past 3 years. Their name comes from the Suthep Sub-district, where they first gathered. Defining their music as "Modern Vintage", the band blends old Thai musical styles such as luk thung, luk krung and string from the 70s-90s and takes influence from the sounds of their childhood.
